communication line
According to input signals from various sensors, engine ECU calculates driver’s demand (position of the accelerator
pedal) and then controls overall operating performance of engine and vehicle on that time.
ECU receives signals from sensors via data line and then performs effective engine air-fuel ratio controls based on those
signals. Engine speed is measured by crankshaft speed (position) sensor and camshaft speed (position) sensor determines
injection order and ECU detects driver’s pedal position (driver’s demand) through electrical signal that is generated by
variable resistance changes in accelerator pedal sensor. Air flow (hot film) sensor detects intake air volume and sends the
signals to ECU. Especially, the engine ECU controls the air-fuel ratio by recognizing instant air volume changes from air flow
sensor to decrease the emissions (EGR valve control). Furthermore, ECU uses signals from coolant temperature sensor
and air temperature sensor, booster pressure sensor and atmospheric pressure sensor as compensation signal to respond
to injection starting, pilot injection set values, various operations and variables.

Fuel tank
Fuel tank is made of anti-corrosion material and its allow-

min. 0.3 bar). It has protective cap and safety valve to
prevent excessive pressure building. Also, to supply fuel
smoothly, it has structure to prevent fuel from leaking in
shocks, slopes and corners and.
Priming pump
If fuel runs out during driving or air gets into fuel line after
fuel filter replacement, it may cause poor engine starting
or damage to each component. Therefore, the hand prim-
ing pump is installed to bleed air from transfer line.
When the vehicle is under the conditions as below, press
the priming pump until it becomes rigid before starting
the engine.

2. After draining the water from fuel separator
3. After replacing the fuel filter
Press the priming pump until it becomes rigid before start-

Fuel filter
It requires more purified fuel supply than conventional die-
sel engine. If there are foreign materials in the fuel, fuel
system including pump components, delivery valve and
injector nozzles may be damaged.
Fuel filter purifies fuel before it reaches to high pressure
pump to help proper operations in high pressure pump.
And more, it separates water from fuel to prevent water
from getting into FIE system (high pressure line).

High pressure pump
This is plunger pump that generates high pressure; and
driven by crankshaft with timing chain. The high pressure
pump increases system pressure of fuel to approx.
1,600 bar and this compressed fuel is transferred to high
pressure accumulator (common rail) in tube through high
LUB
pressure line.

FUEL
It stores fuel transferred from high pressure pump and
also stores actual high pressure of fuel. Even though the

injectors inject fuel from the rail, the fuel pressure in the
rail is maintained to a specific value. It is because the
effect of accumulator is increased by unique elasticity of
fuel. Fuel pressure is measured by rail pressure sensor.
SENSOR
And the fuel pressure regulating valve (IMV, Inlet Meter-
ing Valve) included in high pressure pump housing keeps
pressure to a desired level.
Injectors
The fuel injection device is composed of electrical sole-
noid valve, needle and nozzle and controlled by engine
ECU. The injector nozzle opens when solenoid valve is
activated to directly inject the fuel into combustion cham-
ber in engine. When injector nozzle is open, remaining
fuel after injection returns to fuel tank through return line.
Pressure limit valve, fuel returned by low pressure and
fuel used for high pressure pump lubrication also return
to fuel tank through return line.
Transfer pump
The transfer pump is included in the housing of the high
pressure pump. The transfer pump is the volumetric blade
type pump. To deliver the continuously required fuel
volume, the pump transfers fuel from the fuel tank to high
pressure pump.
GENERAL
Transfer Pump

ASSY
The transfer pump is the device to provide sufficient fuel to high fuel pressure line and is mechanical type feed pump
that is driven by timing chain linked to crankshaft. This mechanical type feed pump is subject to air inflow, therefore,

The transfer pump is included in the housing of the HP pump. The transfer pump is the volumetric blade type pump
and consists of the following components:
EXHAUST I N T A K E
1. A rotor turned by the shaft of the HP pump. The connection is provided by splines.
2. An eccentric liner fixed to the housing of the HP pump by 6 Torx bolts. The liner is positioned by two off-set pins
in order to prevent any assembly errors.

Chamber
Consider the chamber between the rotor, the liner and two successive blades (refer to above figure).
1. When the chamber is in position 1, the volume of the chamber is minimal. The changes in volume according to
the angle of rotation of the rotor are small.
2. The rotor makes a quarter turn clockwise. The previous chamber is now in position 2.
The inlet orifice is uncovered. The volume contained in the chamber quickly rises. The pressure inside the
chamber drops sharply. Fuel is drawn into the chamber.
3. The rotor continues to rotate. It is now in position 3. The inlet and outlet orifices are now sealed off. The volume
area controlled by the rotor, the liner and the two blades is at the maximum. The changes in volume according to
the angle of rotation of the rotor are small.
4. The rotor continues to rotate. It is finally in position 4. The outlet orifice is uncovered. The volume area controlled
by the rotor, the liner and the blades decreases quickly. The pressure inside the chamber rises sharply. The fuel
is expelled under pressure. The depression caused by the transfer pump’s rotation is sufficient to draw in diesel
fuel through the filter. The transfer pump is driven by the shaft of the HP pump, transfer pressure thus rises with
engine speed. A regulating valve allows the transfer pressure to be maintained at a practically constant level
(about 6 bar) throughout the whole range of engine operations by returning some of the fuel to the pump inlet.

Overview
The LP actuator, also called the inlet metering valve, is

of fuel which is sent to the pumping element of the HP

perature rise in the fuel entering the tank. In order to
prevent too high a temperature being reached, it is
necessary to limit the amount of heat generated by
the fuel pressure reduction, by reducing the back leak
flow. To reduce the back leak flow, it is sufficient to
adapt the flow of the HP pump to the engine’s require-
ments throughout its operating range.
Torque (Nm)
Composition of IMV
The IMV is located on the hydraulic head of the pump. It is fed with fuel by the transfer pump via two radial holes. A
cylindrical filter is fitted over the feed orifices of the IMV. This makes it possible to protect not only the LP actuator,
but also all the components of the injection system located downstream of the IMV.
The IMV consists of the following components:
1. A piston held in the fully open position by a spring.
2. A piston filter located at inlet.
3. Two O-rings ensuring pressure tightness between the hydraulic head and the body of the IMV.
4. A body provided with two radial inlet holes and an axial outlet hole.
5. Coil
Principle of Operation
GENERAL
The LP actuator is used to proportion the amount of fuel sent to the pumping element of the HP pump in such a way
that the pressure measured by the HP sensor is equal to the pressure demand sent out by the ECU. At each point
of operation, it is necessary to have:
ASSY
• Flow introduced into the HP pump = Injected flow + Injector backleak flow + injector control flow
The IMV is normally open when it is not being supplied with fuel. It cannot therefore be used as a safety device to
shut down the engine if required.

Principle of operation
GENERAL
1. During the filling phase, the rollers are kept in contact with the cam by means of coil springs mounted on either
side of each shoe. The transfer pressure is sufficient to open the inlet valve and to move the pumping plungers
apart. Thus, the dead volume between the two plungers fills with fuel.
ASSY
2. When the diametrically opposite rollers simultaneously encounter the leading edge of the cam, the plungers are
pushed towards each other.
3. As soon as the pressure becomes higher than the transfer pressure, the inlet valve closes. When the pressure
HOUSING
becomes higher than the pressure inside the rail, the delivery valve opens. Consequently, the fuel is pumped
under pressure into the rail.
4. During the input phase, transfer pressure pushes back the inlet valve. Fuel enters the body of the pumping
element. The valve closes as soon as the pressure in the pumping element becomes higher than the transfer
EXHAUST I N T A K E
pressure.
5. During the input phase, the ball of the delivery valve is subject to the rail pressure on its outer face and to the
transfer pressure on its inner face. Thus the ball rests on its seat, ensuring the pressure tightness of the body of
the pumping element. When the pressure in the element becomes higher than the pressure in the rail, the ball is
unbalanced and it opens. Fuel is then pumped into the rail at high pressure.

This high pressure pump generates the driving torque with low peak torque to maintain the stress to driving components.
This torque is smaller than that of conventional injection pump, thus, only a small load will be applied to pump. The
required power to drive pump is determined by set pressure for rail and pump speed (delivery flow). Note that the fuel
leakage or defective pressure control valve may affect the engine output.
GENERAL
The fuel passed through the fuel filter is sent to the transfer pump via the HP inlet pump. this fuel passes through the
transfer pump by the transferring pressure and maintains the predefined value by the regulating valve in HP pump.
Also, this fuel gets into the IMV that controls only the fuel to the high pressure pump.

2) Above figure shows the temperature changes in each section caused by temperature changes in pump inlet

And, diesel fuel has lubrication effects due to its viscosity. Thus, the fuel is also used for pump lubrication.
However, this lubrication performance drops as the temperature rises. Accordingly, when the fuel temperature

lubrication effects of fuel and prevent heat damage on each section of high fuel pressure line.

GENERAL
The maximum injection pressures are approximately 1,600 bar. The forces to be overcome in order to lift the needle
of the injector are therefore very large. Because of this, it is impossible to directly control the injector by using an

required for the multiple injections. The injector is therefore indirectly controlled by means of a valve controlling the

Injector at rest
The valve is closed. The control chamber is subject to
the rail pressure.
The pressure force applied by the fuel onto the needle is:
Ff = S * Prail
The needle is closed and hence there is no fluid circu-
lation through the NPO orifice. While static, the nozzle
produces no pressure drop. The cone of the needle is
therefore subject to the rail pressure. The force ap-
plied by the fuel to the needle is:
Fo = A * Prail
Since Ff > Fo, the needle is held in the closed position.
There is no injection.
GENERAL
Start of injection
As soon as Ff < Fo, or in other words:
ASSY
Pcontrol < Prail * A/S
The needle lifts and injection begins. As long as the valve is open, the injector’s needle remains lifted. When
injection begins, fuel circulation is established to feed the injector. The passage of the fuel through the inlet
orifice of the injector (similar to a nozzle) leads to a pressure drop which depends on the rail pressure.
HOUSING
When the rail pressure is at its highest (1600 bar), this pressure drop exceeds 100 bar. The pressure applied
to the cone of the needle (the injection pressure) is therefore lower than the rail pressure.
EXHAUST I N T A K E
End of injection
As soon as the solenoid valve is de-energized, the valve closes and the control chamber is filled. Since the
needle is open, the thrust section areas situated on either side of the needle is therefore to apply different
pressures to each of these faces. The pressure in the control chamber cannot exceed the rail pressure, so it is
therefore necessary to limit the pressure applied to the needle’s cone. This pressure limitation is achieved by
the NPO orifice which produces a pressure drop when fuel is passing through it.

The control current of the coil takes the following form:
COOLING
1. The low current allows the Joule effect losses in the ECU and injector to be reduced. The call current is higher
than the hold current because during the hold phase.
2. The air gap between the valve and the coil is reduced and the electromagnetic force to be applied to the valve can
thus be reduced. It is no longer necessary to overcome the valve inertia.

Fuel Injection
Other than conventional diesel engine, common diesel engine use two steps injection as follows:
1. Pilot Injection
2. Main Injection
In above two step injection, the fuel injection volume and injection timing is calibrated according to fuel pressure and
fuel temperature.
Pilot injection
Before starting main injection, a small amount of fuel is injected to help proper combustion. This injection is for
reducing the engine noise and vibration.
In other words, it makes the pressure increase in combustion chamber during combustion smooth to reduce the
engine noise and vibration (suppressing the surging). Basic values for pilot injection are adjusted according to
the coolant temperature and intake air pressure.

GENERAL
Actual output from engine is achieved by main injection.
The main injection determines the pilot injection has been occurred, then calculates the injection volume. Accel-
erator pedal sensor, engine rpm, coolant temperature, intake air temperature and atmospheric pressure are
